Such an incredible resource. They have very knowledgeable, friendly, and helpful staff/ volunteers. There's a cute little gift shop. Beautiful setting! Lots of super interesting educational exhibits and literature.
There is lots of wildlife to be found here if you just take the time to look.
Quiet and nice singing birds, don't go in the heat! Too mugggy
Beautiful wildlife refuge! We saw frogs, ducks, swans, and egrets.
Always interesting, lots of geese this time of year, though the two bald eagles definitely spooked them when one flew over. Good collection of other waterfowl as well.
Friendly people in education center. Nice, easy hike. Beautiful scenery. Will definitely be back.
Nice place for a walk. No running, no pets, no picnic area. But a lovely place for a sunny stroll.
Great place to look at the wildlife. For some reason the farmers that live near the entrance keep using the bathroom there.
This place never disappoints and they always take such good care of the wildlife
One of the best and most beautiful refuges ever. The staff and volunteers are all so friendly and helpful and knowledgable. The birding is incredible!! _I'm a volunteer there!)
A great place to get away from the city and feel like you are all alone in nature. The winding trails offer privacy in areas and others have wide open views out into the wetlands. Check the visitor center hours for more education, but there are also signs throughout and maps to offer learning.
Awesome bit of nature in the middle of the suburbs. Always something to see or do..
Nice visitor center, enrichment family activities, and excited to see more expansion to the land from across the highway.
Surprising wildlife refuge in the middle of suburban Tualatin. Was a perfect day to go, in mid-March, with bright sun and tons of birds.
This place was gorgeous!! We took our two kids, 5 and 6, who thought it was fun. We went to the visitor center first and got a check off list of things for them to find. This really added to their experience. Since it's winter, only some trails were open. We can't wait to go back in spring/summer to see the rest of it. It's worth the visit!!
My kids had fun and enjoyed walking the trails and looking for the birds.
Wonderful waterfowl viewing area right by the gift shop. Easy accessible trails.
Always loved this area year round. Lots of wildlife!
Just starting a photography hobby and this was an excellent place to start.
Well taken care of and a nice place to take a relaxing walk. Looking at the fog early in the morning is fantastic.
Absolutely love tbis place. It's free and has so much to offer. Visitors center, paved walking paths and incredible wildlife every time of the year. Nice place to take the kids or take a romantic walk with someone special.
Beautiful and very well kept. Spacious and quiet on a weekday evening, perfect for a picnic on date night.
A beautiful place to go in any season, with well maintained trails, signage, visitors' center, and staff.
Nice place to take a walk, observe the nature and birds. Follow the gravel trails along the river, watch the sunset and enjoy the beautiful landscape. Bicycles are not allowed. The gravel trails makes it not friendly to strollers or wheelchairs, unless you have an off-road one. In fact, the noise from my baby's stroller rolling onto the gravel scared the birds and little animals away .
Very pleasant area to walk around. It is walk path only...so no biking or running. Surprised me a little, but it was actually pretty relaxing! Some area for relaxing, bird watching, etc. Check it out!
Nice easy walk, active wildlife, nice places for children to explore.
Sadly the Ridge that was supposed to be overlooking the whole refuge was pretty much enclosed by trees and had no view. Other than that it was a great hike! Definitely a spot you can casually visit again and again
Nature walks, bird watching, nice place to get away without going far.
First visit to this refuge. It was hot today (85f) but the long trail had a good mix of covered trees and open spaces. Lots of birds. Due to COVID the bathrooms weren t open :-( but that s understandable. I encourage a visit. Trails are gravel and great for strollers too.
I love hiking here. People need to wear masks, though.
This is a beautiful place, but folks need to remember COVID guidelines when visiting
Nice and beautiful place to walk and enjoy nature and bird watching.
Easy access, easy walking trails, clean restrooms and migrating birds during the winter months.
Amazing place. Stop and check out there visitor info center woth viewing areas and then walk the trails.
Lovely, peaceful environment. Most of the hiking trails are closed for the Fall-Spring to protect the birds, but still has some nice views especially of the river. The Nature Center is informative as well.
Great place to see waterfowl, eagles, deer, and other wildlife. Perfect place for a leisurely walk.
Super awesome views wildlife everywhere great for the family
Awesome place to view wildlife, any time of year. From Bald Eagles to Waterfowl and Owls. The Spring is particularly fun to see all the youngster with their parents.
Peace within the city! This is the best place to take a walk and reconnect with nature
Nice leisurely walk through marshlands. OK wildlife in the heat of the afternoon, probably better in morning and evening near dusk. Beautiful visitor center and refuge.
Love this place. It has great walking paths. Lots of birds to see. Plenty of spots to see the river. The observation deck is great with lots of good views.
They had someone out at the creek, doing a demonstration. Very cool, very educational. Top notch facilities.
A wonderful place to go for a hike, or to simply sit and enjoy some silence. I do wish is didn't close at dusk, but safety first I suppose lol. A girls scout troop has placed a small container for visitors to sign. It was missing a pen the last time I saw it, so bring a writing utensil if you can. Just in case you find it lol.
The wetlands is a beautiful and serene place for nature walks or for kids to explore and learn
Beautiful place to take a stroll and look for birds
Mostly flat easy walking. One area offers a hike uphill for a nice view. Once on the path, you are emersed into Oregon's frontier and really feel away from the city noises and back to nature.
Really cool place. The volunteers are nice and knowledgeable.
Great place to visit throughout the year. Always lots of birds to see, with clear trails to walk.
its fine, descent walking trail. entrance is very tough off 99w depending on which direction you are coming.
Great place for wildlife viewing. Well maintained. Friendly staff. Lots of birds including bald eagles, hawks, heron, egret, geese and ducks.
We had our maternity photoshoot here and it was so beautiful! Love all the wildflowers.
Very quiet place for relaxing hikes near three outer edge of Tualatin. Impossible to tell you are not in the middle of nowhere.
Wetlands in wide open spaces abundant with large and small birds. Path takes you into lush green woods with habitats of plants and animals. Quiet except for wind and birds.
Eagles, egrets, geese, frogs, and beavers on display a short drive from Portland. Bring binoculars, mud-proof shoes, and a friend. Summer paths are wheelchair friendly.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Very scenic views. Saw a few bald eagles!
Oh my gosh! This place is phenomenal!!!! The walk was relaxing and easy for my small 3 year old. It's absolutely breath taking there.
Great little hike you can borrow binoculars in the ranger station for free. Saw bunches of critters and a mature resident bald eagle. Always a majestic sight. Bathroom is available at the far end of the loop. Lots of baby ducks and geese.
Beautiful area. It would be nice if they better maintained their bathrooms.
Nice trains, nice visitor center. Great for families, dates or just to get out of the house.
It is a beautiful walk. Quiet with no pets or runners.
Very beautiful area and a great walk to take my daughter to.
